Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
After years of being the registered nurse / family member or friend everyone called in need, I decided to pursue advocacy work full time. Always researching and updating my knowledge I needed to make my best healthcare choices as well as enabling the same for countless others, I have found that a lack of communication with, and impersonalization of patients are oftentimes at the root of problems seen in healthcare today. Remedying these deficiencies are priorities for those I work with.

Additional Skills
My emphasis is on my individual client. Your best choices are unique and may not be someone else's. In whatever uncertainties present to you, my goal is to enable you to make it through this time with the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing the absolute best you can in navigating through and resolving all the problems you face. I handle a wide range of diagnoses including autoimmune disorders, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, mental illness and psychiatric concerns, Parkinsons, Dementia (including Alzheimer's), obesity, rare diseases, LGBTQ healthcare & support and a host of other health issues.

Navigating through and standing up to a broken system requires tenacity and determination but is totally necessary in today's (oxymoronic) healthcare system to get the best outcomes. I ensure my clients get the best care that they can within their individual preferences with kindness and dignity.
